I loved this place during the winter. $2 taco Tuesday ( small but very good), great free home made salsa and warm chips, cold beer. Just walked out, waitress said old taco Tuesday still on so we sat. She then says they are now $3.50 each. We said ok ( did not like the bait/ switch act) but moved on, we asked for salsa/chips she said $4. By by Had a good thing going with locals but now it must be profit screw the tourists time. Go to Enejho down the street. Always a fav! read more

I really like this place and am super surprised to see it empty often! The food is really good. You can always tell by the chips and salsa if the place is going to be good and the chips and salsa here are good - unique, but definitely good. I always eat a meat burrito and it is cooked to perfection for me. Not too runny, not too cooked. The people that work here are super nice and fun to talk to. Although I haven't been yet, they host parties on weekend nights and karaoke nights as well. If I didn't work early each day I would totally join in! I highly recommend more people try this place out! read more

Our long search for an authentic Mexican restaurant on Cape with the flavors and food variety we enjoyed regularly in Southern California for nearly 40 years ended today when we lunched at Blue Moon Mexican American Restaurant (430 Main Street) in Hyannis. Blue Moon is absolutely the real deal. If you know from and crave those unique tastes, Blue Moon is the the place to visit. Experience the authentic flavors of Michoacán, with a wide of Aguas frescas as well as adult beverages, with charming service, in a comfortable and ultra-clean setting. Our drinks arrived really quickly along with a basket of freshly made tortilla chips (light, not greasy, with just a sprinkle of salt and super crispy) and a big bowl of the house-made salsa (most likely a combination of Chile de Arbol, garlic, and fresh tomato). The salsa was served warm which enhanced the intensity of the flavors. Just a tad spicy. I have no spice/heat threshold but my wife does and it's a low bar for her. However, she enjoyed a lot of this salsa which means it wasn't that spicy. When our drinks arrived we ordered. The carnitas plate for my wife which came with Mexican rice, Charro pinto beans and was garnished with a huge blistered Jalapeño and grilled green onions (which are all customary). Flour tortillas were served on the side. Carnitas is her "go to" dish at a new Mexican restaurant. At a taqueria, it's all about the variety of the meats available for tacos, burritos, sopes, tostadas, etc. To borrow a phrase, Blue Moon "has the meats" and I was excited to try two of my favorites--chivos (goat) and lengua (beef tongue). They also have al pastor (pork and pineapple), carna asada (grilled beef), carnitas, cabeza (steamed beef cheeks), shrimp, chicken, and fish. What they DON'T have are ground beef tacos "seasoned" with "taco spices." In fact there were only two items which typically appear at a taqueria which I would enjoy having (and which can be found off Cape)--tripas (fried cow stomach/tripe) and chicharrones (fried pork skin or pork belly). Neither were on the menu, but of course it's not a taqueria per se and they can't be making everything. The dishes arrived rather quickly and after one bite of the three meats I knew we had found our new "go to" place for authentic Mexican food. The carnitas, was crisp on the outside, succulent and tender on the inside. Exactly right and not greasy at all. My wife is not a big fan of beans, but she finished all of them today, they were that tasty. (I had a sample taste of the beans and rice for research purposes.) Slow cooked pintos with some onion, spices and just a hint of the Mexican herb Epazote, luscious. The Mexican rice was as equally well made as the Charro beans (also often called "Pot Beans")--each grain of rice separated and infused with the flavor of the chicken stock and tomato-garlic puree in which the rice is cooked. Delicious. No clumps or lumps of rice in this serving. My tacos came on two 5" corn tortillas (which is customary), the meats topped with a fine dice of cilantro and white onion, a small dollop of guacamole and a bit of the home-made salsa. I added a bit more of the salsa. Christian also brought me a small container of their home-made Birria (which in this case had been made from goat) for dipping the chivos taco. I didn't dip, once I took a small taste I slurped it all. Lusciously complex and so flavorful. If I had know they had goat Birria today I would have order a cup as an appetizer. My lengua was soft, tender and filled with rich beefy flavor, it was also cubed rather than sliced which enhanced the mouth feel when chewing it. The chivos was served shredded--tender, deeply flavored but in no way "goaty" (as some goat cheese can sometimes be), just scrumptious. After my wife took a thin slice of the blistered Jalapeño I inherited the monster and enjoyed it as my dessert. What a wonderful way to end a surprisingly delicious meal. Do we go back tonight for dinner or do we wait a day? There is much on the menu I want to try and Christian told us they even do special soups on a week-by-week basis, including my all time favorite Mexican soup--Menudo (the tripe and hominy soup served with an assortment of vegetable garnish, spices and fresh lime to add as you eat. For nearly 50 years Menudo has been my "bellwether" dish for dining at a new Mexican restaurant-if they can do Menudo well, the rest of the fare is likely to be good. read more

Came here with my brother for dinner, we are from California and are always in search of authentic Mexican food on the cape. Our service was fantastic and very attentive. I immediately also noticed the full bar. Chips tasted fresh and salsa was super flavorful and had the perfect spice. The Al Pastor was as good as I get in LA, in fact my only regret was that I didn't order more. My brother loved his bean and cheese burrito. We will be back. If you are in search of authentic food at good prices with great service, skip the spots down the road and come here! read more

Blue Moon Mexican American Restaurant - 2 Al pastor tacos (no onion or cilantro, sorry I have the gene), chips and salsa, bean and cheese burrito - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

The quesadillas was really greasy!!! I also had three tacos, one head fish the others had steak and chicken . One ate my quesadilla. I did take some fish from the taco in it so I'm I'm assuming it was made on the same skillet. They would not recommend this place at all. read more

Great food and service! They could use a new playlist and the decor was pretty basic. If you want tasty, authentic Mexican food with no frills this is your place. read more

The food was very tasty. Great salsa if you like spicy and the chips were fresh. Wish I lived here I would come back a lot

Very clean interior with tables for table service. Full bar as well. I ordered three tacos for takeout (chicken, steak, and lengua). All were excellent street-style tacos with fresh ingredients on corn tortillas. I will definitely be back to try some other things. read more

Food was so good. We tried basically every taco and they were all equally delicious. We went on a Tuesday so the tacos were $2! Our server was very kind and helpful. The restaurant has a really nice vibe read more

Great Mexican food. I grew up in CA and this is as good as any. Very fresh, home made, and authentic. Great service. If you live on the Cape, give it a try. read more

Server was friendly but lacking in performance. There was only one other person in the restaurant and 30 minutes after placing our order, the server informed one of our party that they didn't have what he had ordered so he placed a different order. When the meals came to the table, they had gotten his order wrong. We had to ask a couple times for water refills and chips. I must say though that the food was tasty but I did think that $17 for a lone burrito with no sides was a bit much for this modest restaurant. read more

I came here with my uncle who was visiting for the summer, we came for lunch and we were the only ones there and the servers kept forgetting we were there. Everyone was super nice but the service was incredibly slow. They brought my food then like 10 minutes later they brought my uncles food. I got the Burrito pollo and my uncle got enchiladas and a margarita the food was really good a tad expensive for the portions but very tasty. Our server was incredibly nice and friendly. I was just surprised by the speed of which everything took. We were the only ones there and it took incredibly long. We sat outside and it was really nice it is situated on A very busy part of Main Street so it's a good spot for people watching inside is air-conditioned and really nice super clean. I wouldn't recommend going here if you are in a hurry it is a good little sit down spot. I wouldn't say it's incredibly family-friendly, but it's a nice little spot to go with a small group of people. read more
